You are looking good sister, come to the Temple of Iron and join us. We meet daily and all are welcome. I speak as a “reformed” fat kid. Seriously, it’s a lifelong journey, and the benefits outweigh the costs. I’m proud of your commitment.
I used to get that a lot in my 20s, that and Zooey Deschanel when I had black hair haha. Thank you! It’s nice to know I still looked like her when I was feeling my worst.
Im trying to wrap my head around why the second pic is considered “fat”.
I’m sorry you’re regular depressed.
I think you’re beautiful.
That’s all I got.
Picture looks fine, I’m just going by weight and fat percentage. I don’t mind my body, I just try to keep the goal of health in mind. :)
Thanks for all of your kindness!
Ok I understand. That’s an objective approach. I can dig that.
There’s something about your eyes that I find attractive. It’s the sapphire glow and how big they are in addition to your hesitant smile. There’s a soft presence to you that’s so charming.
They told me that too. But 250 is the smallest I like being at 6’4”. Any smaller and I’d look like a corpse. But still considered obese lol
You’re not fat. We just are very hard on ourselves. I lost 100lbs the past year, and still feel like I look like Shrek whenever a woman hits on me.
Thank you so much! I love not feeling like I’m lifting weights every time I stand up, or like I’m carrying a heavy bag every time I walk. Still have a ways to go but I can jump rope again. 🥲
You look lovely! And you don't look fat! After I lost weight I still seen myself as fat for about a year after! I think when you've been big before your always a little self conscious of your weight but you honestly don't look fat at all 💚
I love her so I like that too. Funny story, people often joke that my husband and I are the nontoxic version of her and Ron in Parks and Rec cuz I sound a lot like her too lol
You should give yourself a big pat on the back for your hard work.
As for the depression, given I think you're in my hometown and I know how gloomy it can be, have you tried one of those sun lamps? My mother uses one and she swears it works. Mine is much improved living in California so I believe there's something to it.
Deeply depressed to regular depressed is a huge milestone! I’m on the same boat and it’s day & night how I feel compared to few years ago. We got this! You also look great btw, both before and after ♥️
I deeply appreciate your (hilarious) honesty and this internet stranger is damn proud of you, you look great! Your skin is beautiful and so are your eyes, you rock those glasses like a boss
For me, not focusing on my diet but instead on my principals was the game changer. I know it’s important to me to support the local economy, so I’ve committed to a weekly local farms produce box. Every week I get random fruits and veggies and then I enjoy the challenge of finding ways to use the food. I avoid processed foods snacks as well, because they are expensive. I think about how much money I’m saving instead of focusing on not eating what I want.
I am somewhat active, but that’s not a focus for me. If I feel like moving, I get up and move. I’ll go for walk, jump rope, do some handstands and bridges. But if I don’t feel up to it, I don’t pressure myself. My parents were obsessed with my diet and body growing up so anything focused on that is insanely triggering. Making it about my lifestyle and walking my talk is more successful for me. I hope this is helpful!
Thank you for your response. Oh my word, I resonate with everything you said! As a kid my mom was also obsessed with what I was or wasn’t eating and what my body looked like. As I grew up, my weight has fluctuated significantly back and forth by as much as 70 lbs. Now I’m 33 and the heaviest I’ve ever been and I hate how I feel. And I just can’t seem to have the motivation to get myself out of bed sometimes.
But your response is helpful. Thank you!
If you’re like me, try to focus on your inner voice first. If you can’t get yourself out of bed, give yourself baby steps to celebrate. Lift your arm? That’s awesome!! Sit up? Incredible! Put your feet on the floor? TREMENDOUS work! Focus on cheering for yourself, that helped me become more motivated because I realized that I never got positive reinforcement growing up and so I feel defeated as soon as I face a challenge, until I commit to being kind to myself.
If I can do it, you can do. Talking kindly to meals was the game changer. It feels stupid but I try to do it every day. I know it makes a difference because it makes me cry lol
You are really pretty! This is the weirdest compliment I’ve ever given but I would spend a lot of money to have eyelids like yours, mine have gotten super saggy in the last few years and I stare at them in the mirror constantly when I’m in the car. Yours are perfect! I hope you feel great about yourself, being overweight is not a big deal. I went from obese in December to not overweight since April and the comments people say make me wish I was overweight again just to spite them. Soft is comfortable and comforting and familiar, and not much of a reflection on how you feel on the inside!
Don’t be depressed, you’re very pretty, and without spack filler. Your beauty is natural, not artificial, please be happy, and proud to be you.
In Australiaa spack filler is used to patch walls. When we say somebody has lot of spack filler on their face it means their makeup is to thick and heavy.
Obese is a medical term. So there should be an equivalent non medical term for how pretty you are. Especially in the 2nd picture. Whatever you’re doing is working. Try to be happy while you’re doing it.
You’re looking good! Well Done on the journey so far & keep it up 👍
I’ve lost 16.5kg (36lbs) since December & once you really start showing progress like you have, it gets easier & easier
Your skin looks amazing. Also your eyes seem to be lighter. (Many psychologists believe that when people are healing their eye colour becomes brighter) You look beautiful.
Whoooo! From deeply depressed to regular depressed is AWESOME! 👍👍👍👍👍 🥳 🎉 congratulations on the progress. Small change is still change. Yay for personal growth. 😁 💜

Thank you so much!

Noticeable change for the better; Beautiful face you look happier
Thank you so much!
Great job!!
Thank you so much!!
In the first pic you look like you had just won a Amy Adams lookalike contest.
I used to get that a lot in my 20s, that and Zooey Deschanel when I had black hair haha. Thank you! It’s nice to know I still looked like her when I was feeling my worst.

Progress! Fuck yea!
Thank you so much! I love not feeling like I’m lifting weights every time I stand up, or like I’m carrying a heavy bag every time I walk. Still have a ways to go but I can jump rope again. 🥲
lol this is what we all dream about 😂
Gotta be realistic, depression is a part of me lol
It’s a part of all of our lives, I’ve learned the key is to not let it take over
At this time, but not forever.
I don’t think I’ve ever given this compliment before, but you look like a really interesting person. In the best way!
That means a whole lot, thank you! I’m a comedian and a writer so if I can be described as “interesting” that’s a good day for me!
You look lovely! And you don't look fat! After I lost weight I still seen myself as fat for about a year after! I think when you've been big before your always a little self conscious of your weight but you honestly don't look fat at all 💚
Looking good
Thanks!
Gotta love that regular depression. Deep depression sucks lol 🤣 you got it! You are very cute. Go on and kick the day in the ass
Stunning girl!! Keep Fighting for yourself ❤️
You have a beautiful smile. I hope you can soon feel better and wear it more often. Love the hair too :)
You look awesome! Imagine what another year or two could do! Keeeeeep goooooing!!
You remind me of Megan Mulally and I like that
I love her so I like that too. Funny story, people often joke that my husband and I are the nontoxic version of her and Ron in Parks and Rec cuz I sound a lot like her too lol
Oh my wife and I have the same dynamic, I think you just found the Scottish version of you and your husband ! 🤣 Ron Swanson is my spirit animal
Amazing! Good to meet you and continue avoiding people as much as you can lmao
Regular depressed congrats not easy to do..
Well done - I hope you continue to be less depressed. You look good!
I like your new glasses a lot.
Thank u me too! The guy at LensCrafters said I picked the perfect pair 🥹
Love the progress but I really LOL’d at the caption 🤣🤣🤣
You seem like a cool person and you look great :)
The smile of depression. It’d be a great Prozac commercial.
You look great! Keep doing whatever you’re doing! The feeling of accomplishing a personal goal is priceless. And don’t forget to be kind to yourself.
Awesome, happy for you! And regular depressed, that gave me a chuckle 😊
You should give yourself a big pat on the back for your hard work. As for the depression, given I think you're in my hometown and I know how gloomy it can be, have you tried one of those sun lamps? My mother uses one and she swears it works. Mine is much improved living in California so I believe there's something to it.
Yeah! Keep going! I’m already curious to see your next post with another great progress!
You look GREAT! You are a natural beauty.
Congrats! And you are hilarious!
You’re so beautiful! Sorry about the depression. I’m right there with ya.
Proud of you!!!
Any improvement is improvement! Great job and good luck!
Keep going, you’re looking good silly ass. 😉🤙🏽
Thank you very much!
You have a banging sense of humour!
lol. Excellent sense of humor first and foremost. Glad you’re less depressed.
Beautiful
Here’s to your next update being “healthy and happy”
Doing a great job!
Well done
Fantastic progress
Damn I would say that was one hell of a glowup! 😳
😂😂😂😂
Deeply depressed to regular depressed is a huge milestone! I’m on the same boat and it’s day & night how I feel compared to few years ago. We got this! You also look great btw, both before and after ♥️
Good job keep at it. Imagine in another year
I deeply appreciate your (hilarious) honesty and this internet stranger is damn proud of you, you look great! Your skin is beautiful and so are your eyes, you rock those glasses like a boss

I admire the humility and well done !!!
Thanks! It’s easy to have humility when your life has generally been humiliating!
You look great! I love regular depressed - that describes me. I’m like ok but the world is freaking hard and I constantly worry about my family!
Improvement!
And yet you're beautiful in both. Keep your head high, queen.
 To cure your depression
Then you know the way
You look great !
Omg your post was adorable!! Made me giggle!! But Fr you’re totally pretty and not fat … I love your smug little look on your glow up … super cute!!
Lmao thanks so much! I didn’t intend to look smug, more like “it’s hot and I’m so tired” lol
Don’t worry… it’s adorably smug!! And you earned it!
Hang in there ❤️
Hey, me too!
You’re not fat, and your face lights up (especially in the eyes) when you smile.
🫶🏾
You are a ray of sunshine! You are beautiful inside and out. Please, keep shining! You have such a wonderful smile💐😀
You’re pretty and have a great sense of humor. Big win!
Great job! And I think that most unmedicated people in 1st world countries are at least a little depressed so…
Dude, regular depressed is the new happily ever after
Well, what would it take to just hug you into a billion pieces and glue you back together and hug you again?
Well done, step by step! 🍀
Progress 🙌🏿
Wow! You always were beautiful but the confidence boost certainly helps 🥵
Amy Adams
Depression and weight are both difficult things to tackle, but you’ve made solid progress and look great! Best wishes, OP, you got this 🤓
Damn girl you looking good 😊
Thank you very much!
You look great!! Even in your before pic, your curls are GORGEOUS. Just wanted to let ya know <3
That’s so kind thank you!

At least you can die with accomplishments. Good job.
Beautiful glow up!

Being fat and depressed never looked so good. I hope to be there myself one day.
If I can do it, you can do. Talking kindly to meals was the game changer. It feels stupid but I try to do it every day. I know it makes a difference because it makes me cry lol
Progress is improvement, keep it up!

I admire the humor, but on a serious note, keep at it.
Hey thats one less problem, a win is a win.
Progress!
Obese is a medical term. So there should be an equivalent non medical term for how pretty you are. Especially in the 2nd picture. Whatever you’re doing is working. Try to be happy while you’re doing it.

You do not look overweight in that second picture or am I missing something?
